The Crow: Second coming chapter 4

Eric was standing there outside his exhumed grave, he had mud over his body and the heavy rain was causing him to become wet and soggy, his hair was drooping over his face and the added lightning bolts were lighting him from high above. It had been five years since The crow had returned to the grave and he did not think that he would need to return for anything more.

Eric looked at the crow and the crow at him, their bond was reformed and they became as one just as on his first visit, Eric felt all of his power flooding back and learned from his mistakes f the previous visit, the crow is vulnerable to attack. He looked into the Crows eyes and saw the events of the past week. Sarah had been kidnapped and drugged, not to mention beaten and held hostage in top guns lair. It had to be stopped and there was only on man who could do it. He was here now.

Eric ran down the flooding streets the rain pelting from his back like bullets, he ran as fast as he could and leapt into the air jumping from building top to building top, he was making good time and he hoped that he would not be too late. Sarah is too innocent and sweet to be subject to rape and mistreatment he thought to himself and this thought seemed to make Eric go faster than he already was.

Eric arrived at the foot of the building and looked up, there were lights on and he could hear Sarah scream as the gang were performing god knows what acts upon her, the crow flew high into the sky up to the lighted windows, Sarah was there and some of big guns cronies were harassing her with hardened wood planks and their fists. Eric could not stand to see this and he had to stop the thugs but how?

Eric jumped and landed on the building opposite the window he could see everything blood was falling from Sarah's nose and lip, she had been put through some awful torture and the crow felt saddened he was not summoned earlier. Eric felt strong, stronger than he has ever been and knew what he had to do.

He dived over to the building and smashed through the window, cutting his skin but it healing straight back up as it always does. Sorry to crash the party guys but this girls coming with me Eric said in a confident manner. Over my dead body one of the cronies said, well said Eric if you want it that way then so be it.

Eric got into a fighting stance and cued on the thugs with his hand, "Come on lets play"
